Raptors' Leonard Still Out; Johnson Probable for Nuggets Clash

Kawhi Leonard remains sidelined for the Toronto Raptors' upcoming game against the Denver Nuggets due to left knee injury management. He recently completed treatment for swelling and has begun the team's return-to-play protocol in Toronto, with another update expected in a week.

Leonard has played only two games this season, and his return date is still uncertain. Reports in late October suggested a potential three-to-four-week absence, and his history of knee issues makes his recovery a key storyline for the Raptors.

Meanwhile, the Denver Nuggets received a potential boost with Cameron Johnson listed as probable for the matchup due to a lower-body injury. However, Denver will be without Spencer Jones, who is dealing with bilateral hamstring issues, and Julian Strawther, who has a left knee sprain.

Leonard's continued absence poses another challenge for the Raptors as they face a Denver team aiming for a strong performance.
